After the commit referenced below the potential exists
for a SEGV (resulting from an out-of-bounds Item_table
reference if PROCPS_PIDS_physical_end is encountered).
So this patch eliminates that PROCPS_PIDS_physical_end
as no longer necessary and completes the task of using
PROCPS_PIDS_logical_end as a sole necessary fencepost.

By co-mingling both external/internal identifiers with
actual implementation code, potential future additions
to our API would have been considerably more difficult.
So, this patch will now rely solely on internal/hidden
identifiers serving as fenceposts in validation logic.
And if the following convention is used for new fields
we will maintain that enumerator alphabetic ordering a
a little longer (even though 2 user fields now don't):
. PROCPS_PIDS_XTRA_FOO_A, PROCPS_PIDS_XTRA_FOO_B, etc.

escape_str() used by library and ps so needs to be exported

Far from ideal to have it this way, will look at it another time
to have it all in, all out or split nicer so its not in the API;
perhaps a lib/ file?
readproc still had some of the old API hanging around that
was good while we were trying it out, but its time to say
goodbye:
readproc.h removed from public procps.h header file
enum ns_type - not used - removed
get_ns_name() - not defined - removed
get_ns_id() - not defined - removed
PROCTAB proc_t only used internal to library
readproctab() and 2,3 friends not used - removed
proc_data_t was used by readproctab23() - removed
readtask() - not used - removed
read_cmdline() - copy,renamed and made generic - remove original
freeproc() - not used - removed
get_proc_status - not used - removed, however there should be
a new function created that does this. Given a PID return data
about it instead of scanning the entire procfs. Maybe it already does.
Left as internal-to-library only functions:
readproc(), readeither(), look_up_our_self(), openproc(), closeproc()
Updated libprocps.sym to export only what we use.
Now that the conditional OOMEM_ENABLE has been removed
and, after reviewing current library support, it turns
out we've been using a deprecated /proc/<pid>/oom_adj.
What we should use instead is that more recent tunable
/proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj. This new field will provide
a range of -1000 thru +1000 (former was -17 thru +15).

The includes used to define a lot of things a library include
should not. It was also a bit messy what was exposed in the library
and what was not.
get_pid_digits -> procps_pid_length and exported correctly
MALLOC attribute move into relevant .c files
NORETURN attribute moved to relevant .c, not used in library
PURE attribute removed, it wasn't used
KLONG/KLF/STRTOUKL were fixed for long, so now just use long
HIDDEN attribute removed. It was for 3 functions. The PROCPS_EXPORT
seems to do the same (opposite) thing.
likely/unlikely removed from most places, its highly debateable
this does anything useful as CPUs have gotten smarter about branches.
Re-arranged the includes, ALL external programs should just #include
<proc/procps.h> then proc/procps.h includes headers for files that
have exported functions. procps.h and the headers it includes should
not use items that are not exportable (e.g. hidden functions or
macros) they go in procps-private.h
Multiple scanf()s use the GNU-permitted %Lu. This is not supported in
other libraries and isn't to the POSIX specification. The L modifier
is only used for floats in POSIX.
Replacing %Lu with %llu is the same for GNU libc (scanf(3) says as much)
but means other libraries will work fine.

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
When reference counts were added to some string fields
the 3 true string vector fields were not duplicated as
were those other fields. Instead they were supposed to
disallow a duplicate stack reference beyond the first.
However, the actual implementation gave NULL for every
true vector field whenever such items were duplicated.
More importantly, such true string vector fields never
considered references to the shared proc_t source root
which would have forced the conversion of such vectors
into a single string form via the '_CVT' library flag.
So this commit restores the intended outcome with true
string vectors. There's only 1 valid reference allowed
and duplicates and converted fields will yield a NULL.

Ok, here is that rather major internal redesign hinted
at in the three previous commits. Its need was quickly
revealed after adapting top then attempting to display
newly added 'CGNAME' fields and an existing 'CGROUPS'.
That very quickly generated a SEGV. And the reason was
just as quickly recognized. Both fields relied on that
proc_t.cgroup member yet whichever result structure is
first in a stack is the one which assumes ownership of
of the vectored sting by resetting its cgroup to NULL.
So this commit introduces reference counting for a few
of the fields in the proc_t. Specifically there are 17
entries in the Item_table dealing with strings/vectors
where ownership is transferred to newlib. Now whenever
such fields are represented more than once in a stack,
the strings will be duplicated instead of transferred.
In this way we can generally remain optimized avoiding
string copies, yet still accommodate them when needed.
There's an exception to this scheme: those true string
vectors (CGROUP_V, CMDLINE_V and ENVIRON_V). When such
fields are duplicated in a stack the result structures
beyond the first will be set to NULL, which the caller
will (should) already be equipped to deal with anyway.

The ps program was modified to print the control group
names, based on the library provided list of all those

thus will make that available to all future consumers.

Gosh, just because nobody uses some newlib provision I
guess, since it is being offered, it ought to actually
be tested at some point. Well, that point just arrived
and guess what? A surprise: some bugs were discovered.
The procps_pids_select function established a for loop
wherein readproc is called until the passed 'maxthese'
limit. Unfortunately this was incorrect for 2 reasons:
1. For PROCPS_FILL_PID results are limited by what the
oldlib finds, having established the pid list at open.
Total found already cannot exceed a passed 'maxthese';
2. With PROCPS_FILL_UID, returned results could exceed
a 'maxthese' thus making the for loop incorrect again.
[ plus yours truly neglected to forward the required ]
[ UIDs total to our old library, another oops biggie ]
In summary: the loop should have been forever, exiting
only when all those identified procs had been located.
So, while addressing those bugs, I've consolidated all
the retrieval code (initialize, iterate, summarize) in
a single helper function which will now serve both the
procps_pids_reap and select functions. And as a result
those guys were reduced to quite trivial housekeeping.
This patch, hopefully, completes the normalization for
reap/select (fill), which began with references shown.

This patch contains the following minor modifications:
. When assigning to boot_seconds from a double, a cast
to 'unsigned long' was employed that in reality should
have been 'unsigned long long'. But, on second thought
it's probably best if the compiler makes the decision.
. Results for ID_TGID do not require an 'f_status' flg
since both tid and tgid will be available by virtue of
the 'simple_nextpid' function normal operations. Thus,
that flag has been removed from the <pids> Item_table.
. When the pids_stacks structure was eliminated with a
change to the alloc/dealloc functions in the reference
below, several casts became redundant and are removed.

After simplifying that select/fill interface, there is
no longer a need for public 'alloc' & 'dealloc' stacks
functions. There is now only one instance of stacks as
an input parameter found in procps_pids_stacks_sort().
But sorting 'empty' stacks serves no possible purpose.
So this commit retains both functions, since they will
still be needed, but designates them private (static).
Additionally, with their demise we will eliminate that
pids_stacks structure from the header file, internally
using what always was the true 'stacks_extent' struct.

Shoot, here's yet another bow to ps needs. But it's ok
because it makes a lot of sense. Rather than force all
users into their own calculations do but it once here.
As an aside this need arose during ps testing when the
sorts were using TIME_START or TICS_ALL. That was just
fine for almost every need except 'etime' plus 'time'.
That 'etime' was sorting the opposite of what's wanted
when using TIME_START (of course) while 'time' yielded
some weird ordering because TICS_ALL was too granular.

The 'PROCPS_PIDS_extra' enumerator already enjoys some
special place wherein it's zeroed with each iteration.
This patch simply extends the special handling to also

'ull_int' data type, since that encompasses the entire
scope of that union within all pids_result structures.

Work on converting ps has revealed the desirability of

The presence of that PROCPS_PIDS_noop may yet see some
use in the future with its 'no alter' library promise.
However, when top used that item to reflect the forest
view nesting level, the unchanging nature of that item
became more of an inconvenience than benefit. For each
refresh top was forced to loop through all the stacks,
resetting that PROCPS_PIDS_noop result struct to zero.
So this commit will now offer users a choice between a
new re-initialized item (PROCPS_PIDS_extra) & the noop
invariant. Since the library already resets all those
result structures, top will now utilize it at no cost.

Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the

While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
